In the darkness, Aldana Candi gradually awoke from unconsciousness.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw the unfamiliar ceiling above.

With a "bang!", the door was flung open, and a gloomy, handsome face appeared before her. The man's face harbored deep impatience. Seeing him, Aldana instinctively retreated a bit; the man's expression darkened further at her movement.
